Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I'm talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example... Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it's untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs... They don't get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

"IT people" here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It's been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

Obviously you didn't read what I wrote, because it is not a construction.

We are animals, we have two sexes. Those sexes are different physically, including brain development.

Human genders are the typical manifestation of our sexual dimorphism. Atypical examples are why we've constructed the idea that gender and sex are different, to be socially inclusive to those few outliers.

I mean, entirely false, but ok.

Gender is very much real, you just seem to have a false perception of what the word means.

Most of us do very much have a gender, it is a very small minority who feels their gender does not match their sex, and smaller still are those who, like you apparently, feel no sense of gender at all.

Being outside the common experience doesn't mean you get to disregard the common experience any more then we should disregard your experience.

Competition is great, a company that can't produce a quality product and ships a CAR with beta level software that can't update OTA is NOT competition.

The auto industry is highly unfavorable to startups, the competition you want will come from the old ICE OEMs.

Because AI is the new because blockchain.

I'm not pretending.

I'm pointing out the flaw it the whining.

There's a lot of should and shouldn't statements that are just wish fulfillment and not reality.

Now that you're done bitching about the housing crisis...what's your actual proposed solution?

Should we take the home from the guy renting you that apartment so you can have it? Force lower rents, leaving him unmotivated to bother renting it?

What's your point beyond rents are too high? We all know there's a problem, how do you propose we fix it, because landlords aren't the root of the issue but this whole thread seems to want to pretend they are.

Ok, then don't.

Go find another place to live.

Or, ya know, you married one of em.

I will have no issue imegrating, I have "an in" as well as a place to live already.

The border is only a 20 minute drive anyway.

The "doesn't want me" statement seems like your personal opinion, not objective reality.

As much of a joke as it is, that's a real option for me. Won't pull the trigger on day one, but you bet your ass I'll be ready to go at a moments notice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I'm well aware of both, been in the industry for over 20 years.

But you still don't seem to comprehend the cost or difficulty of the change.

Frankly the support options don't seem very good either.

Deployment is not even half the battle, ongoing support is where the troubles really come out.
